Nancy, you could try going to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and
uninstall the DvD Recorder Software if there.
and restart and reinstall the software.
It it came with the computer and you don't have it on a disk then forget
this. Go to the manufacture of the softwares site and
look for updates or drivers.
